Description

Begin your day with a sunrise at Muong Thanh Valley. Enjoy a local breakfast of sticky rice, grilled pork, or bánh dày, along with slow tea or coffee as you take in the misty mountains.

Continue to De Castries Bunker and Hill A1. Take your time to feel the scale of the battlefield, not just take photos. For lunch, savor Northwest flavors at a local restaurant or homestay.

In the evening, have dinner with grilled food or local hotpot. Then, take a leisurely walk around Dien Bien Phu town, enjoy tea and street food, and rest early.
